C-3PO pays tribute to his pal R2 with his own knitted outfit in blue. His legs are the same as those that appear in the 75339 Death Star Trash Compactor diorama. LEGO® Star Wars™ characters – C-3PO and R2-D2 in festive outfits, Darth Vader in a summer outfit, plus Luke Skywalker, a Clone Trooper Commander, Snowtrooper, Battle Droid and a Gonk Droid

LEGO Star Wars Christmas 2022 Advent Calendar with Star Wars collectible toys will become a great piece of decoration for the children's room In my experience, most fans come to the Star Wars Advent Calendar looking for the minifigures. This year there are eight, three of whom have exclusive holiday printing. But we’ll start out by looking at the weakest entries – both from the Clone Wars era. We wrap up with the Hoth Adventure Gang – a Snowtrooper, Luke in cold weather gear, and Santa Gonk. Toy building kits for all ages – LEGO® Star Wars™ sets allow kids and adult fans to relive epic scenes, role-play original stories or just build and display the authentic construction modelsAt the end of the advent, you’ll have 24 daily builds to enjoy. There’s a good range of stuff here, with a little something to appeal to just about every Star Wars fan. Behind each of those door-tabs is a small illustration showing how the day’s gift should be built. Like our review of the Marvel Superheroes 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar, I won’t be spoiling which build is hidden behind each day. Instead, you get a picture of all the days in a big pile. Merry Christmas! Next up is the Festive Shirt Gang – C-3PO, R2-D2, and Darth Vader. 3PO and R2 are showing their holiday spirit with festive ugly sweaters. Both torsos are unique prints for this set, with the droid’s other parts all having previous appearances. We wrap up the micro-fleet with a Droid Tri-Fighter, TIE Interceptor, and B-Wing. I had to place the B-Wing on a stand made from other pieces in this set for the photo – it won’t stand up on its own. Likewise, the TIE interceptor is unbalanced and rests at an odd angle when not “in use.”

The advent box’s play area is a little weak, but that’s always going to be the case for a single set that needs to span so many iconic movie locations. In this case, a mash-up between “Hoth” and “Winter on Endor” seems like a good compromise.A super holiday gift idea for Star Wars fans aged 6 and up, the calendar contains 16 mini builds, such as an ARC-170 Starfighter, Bad Batch Shuttle, V-35 Landspeeder and a moisture vaporator. Kids will find assorted builds and accessories to play out Battle of Hoth stories, a Wampa cave in which the Luke Skywalker LEGO minifigure can be hung upside down and a beach scene for Darth Vader on vacation. Kids and adults can join in creative play and recreate movie scenes by combining this Advent Calendar with other LEGO Star Wars building toys The LEGO Group has been recreating starships, vehicles, locations and characters from the Star Wars universe since 1999, and there is a huge variety of sets for fans of all ages.

Kids will find assorted builds and accessories to play out Battle of Hoth stories, a Wampa cave in which the Luke Skywalker LEGO Star Wars minifigure can be hung upside down and a beach scene for Darth Vader on holiday.

Darth Vader, in an odd twist, is dressed for summer. (Or maybe Decembers on Mustafar are just that warm.) He has a new dual-sided custom torso print showing off a Summer on Scarif, with the Death Star hovering in the sky in a totally non-threatening way. He also comes with a white sports ball, with a manufacturing dimple that kind of makes it look like a beach Death Star pool toy. It’s also worth mentioning that you’ll end up with a pretty decent pile of surplus parts over the course of the month. In our house, we usually have a small cup next to the calendar to collect these – maybe one year we’ll make a building competition around them. With Snowtrooper, C-3PO and R2-D2 in Christmas jumpers decorated with each other's portraits, the Wampa Cave or Gonk Droid dressed as Santa Like most LEGO advent calendars, the daily gifts can be clumped into similar thematic groups. We’ll start out by taking a look at the microscale ships – a pretty large fleet of nine vehicles. First up are a V-35 Landspeeder, Luke’s X-34 Landspeeder, and a Republic Gunship. We last saw a LEGO V-35 in the 75290 Mos Eisely Cantina set, and we saw Ultimate Collector Series editions of both the Gunship and X-34 this year. Plus 8 LEGO Star Wars characters including Darth Vader in summer outfit from the Disney+ Movie LEGO Star Wars: Summer Break and Luke Skywalker
